 FCC: Mulan Movie Reviews
And Shang, the captain of Mulan's conscription regiment, a strapping young fellow with a strong jaw and thick eyebrows, bears close resemblance to all the strapping young fellows of Disney animation.

While Mulan is supposed to be a young girl coming of age and there is a faint wiff of an attraction between her and Shang, nowhere do we see our heroine in scanty or suggestive clothing or romantic embrace.
